I'm using Twitter's Fabric SDK in my Android app. I need to acquire a Twitter user's Tweets & Status Messages. I have not been able to find any examples, and the documentation is not very clear on this, so I have posted a new question. Can someone provide an example of how to use the TwitterApiClient
class ?
Twitter Kit has the ability to make API calls. The official documentation is here: https://dev.twitter.com/twitter-kit/android/api
Everything starts with Statuses Service:
StatusService service = Twitter.getApiClient().getStatusesService()
Some methods available at Statuses Service (these methods have direct mapping to REST API endpoints, including the parameters.
service.homeTimeline();
service.lookup();
service.mentionsTimeline();
service.show();
The mechanism to do a request is similar to all services, here's an example of Searching from Cannonball sample app code:
final SearchService service = Twitter.getApiClient().getSearchService();
service.tweets(SEARCH_QUERY, null, null, null, SEARCH_RESULT_TYPE, SEARCH_COUNT, null, null,
maxId, true, new Callback<Search>() {
@Override
public void success(Result<Search> searchResult) {
Crashlytics.setLong(App.CRASHLYTICS_KEY_SEARCH_COUNT,
searchResult.data.searchMetadata.count);
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
final List<Tweet> tweets = searchResult.data.tweets;
adapter.getTweets().addAll(tweets);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
if (tweets.size() > 0) {
maxId = tweets.get(tweets.size() - 1).id - 1;
} else {
endOfSearchResults = true;
}
flagLoading = false;
}
@Override
public void failure(TwitterException error) {
Crashlytics.logException(error);
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
Toast.makeText(PoemPopularActivity.this,
getResources().getString(R.string.toast_retrieve_tweets_error),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
flagLoading = false;
}
}
);
